Day 2 of Keeping It Real


🎥 Day 2 of Keeping It Real

Today started out good. I made a nice breakfast and was feeling ready for the day.

But by the time I walked into my classroom, my Dexcom started alarming—low blood sugar.

So I had to stop and take care of it. I grabbed my peanut butter and honey, waited it out, and finally got back to a steady number. Then I could finally sit down, drink my coffee, and get ready for the kids.

The day gets going, everything is fine… and then—just like that—my Dexcom says HIGH blood sugar.

And it’s like… ugh.

So now I’m drinking more water, moving around, doing stretches while the kids are outside at playtime—just trying to bring it back down.

This is the part people don’t see.

With Type 1 Diabetes, you can do everything right—and your blood sugar will still go up or down. Even something as simple as taking a shower or exercising can throw everything off.

There really isn’t a “normal” with this disease.
You just do your best… one moment at a time.

But through it all, I’m still praising God and thanking Him for this day. 🙏
No matter what my numbers are doing, He is still good.

I also want to share—I’ve stepped out and started two new online businesses! I’m now a Mary Kay Independent Consultant and also selling Kleo Kolor nails. I prayed about both of these before starting, and I’m excited for what God is doing.

I’m keeping it real on here. I’m not going to fake it—I want you to know you are not alone in your daily battles.

Whatever you’re facing—keep the Lord first.
Follow Him, trust Him, and He will guide your path.

And if your faith feels weak, reach out to others who can encourage you. We’re not meant to do this alone.

I also believe in taking care of yourself. I love looking my best for me—it helps me feel better, and sometimes even a smile can change someone else’s day.

Keep the faith 💙
You’ve got this.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…” – Proverbs 3:5-6

What Does It Mean to Be Christ-Like? Being Christ-like is more than a title we claim—it is a life we live. In the Bible, being Christ-like means reflecting Jesus’ character, attitudes, and actions . It means embodying radical love, humility, compassion, forgiveness, and self-sacrifice—even toward those who hurt us or oppose us. It is a daily transformation of the heart, led by the Holy Spirit, as we become more like Him. Being Christ-like is not about following rules or appearing religious. It is about carrying the heart of Jesus —a servant’s heart. It’s about letting the world see Christ in us through how we love, forgive, serve, and walk in obedience to God. Jesus taught us to love not only our neighbors, but also our enemies: “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” — Matthew 5:44 Christ-likeness means humility—laying aside pride and choosing obedience: “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus…” — Philippians 2:5...

This Mother’s Day has brought a lot of emotions for me. I miss my daughter deeply, and there are moments when the grief still feels very heavy. There’s an emptiness that comes with losing a child that never fully goes away. But by the grace of God, I’m making it through one moment at a time. 🙏 And while my heart misses my daughter here on earth, I’m also thankful for the blessings God has still given me. I still have my handsome son, and I have three beautiful grandchildren that I love with all my heart. 💕 They bring joy, smiles, and reminders that even after loss, life still holds precious moments.
